To all whom it may concern:V

Be it known that I, LEON FE'rrY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hutchinson, 1n the county of Reno and State of A Kansas.have invented a new and useful Crude-Oil Burner, oirWhichv the followingis a specification.

The invention relates to improvementsin crude 'oil burners.

ing with the hydro-carbon. fuel, and of ereg.

The object of the presentinvention is to improve the construction ofcrude oil burners, and to provide a Jsimple and comparativelyinexpensive hydro-carbon burner, designed for use in stoves, and capableofheating water and of supplying steam for mixatinf a sufficient draftto sup ly oxy en enolizgh to create ahot blast thalt?l Will brnhydro-carbon fuel Without forming soot and fouling the burner.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hydro-carbon burneroflthischaracter, equipped withemeans for enablingthe supply of waterand crude oil to be simultaneously controlled and readily adjustable tofeed the proper capacity of Water with the oil.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in theconstruction' and novel combination ofparts hereinafter fully described,illustrated indtheaccompanying drawings, and pointed out 'in the claimshereto appended; it being understood that various changesin the form,proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope ofthe claims, maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit orsacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In` the drawings Figure 1 is a-perspective view of a crude oil burner,constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a horizont-alsectional-*view of the same. Fig. 3 is a central vertical sectionalView, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. a similar View, taken on the line4-4' of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view'of the base or flame pan, of theburner. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view, taken substantially on ftheline 6 6 of Fig. 3` and illustrating the construction for operating theoil and-watch faucets.' Fig. 7 is a detail View' of altube for`conducting oil to the center of the burner.

The base or llame pan, whichhas al1-imperforate bottom, is composed of acentral portion: 2 and approximately circular extensions 3, aud-lit 1sformed bya Ahorizontal bottom and the la. The extensions 3, which areopen at the top, project beyondd the burner casing, heminafterdescribed, and areadaptel to direct the\ il of the ame pan orbase isprovided with .a central depression 4,-y and 'it has an annular verticalflange 5 surrounding the depression Y and forming an inner drip,chamber, which is adapted Although only two circular to catch the dripof oil if any. extensions are illustrated -in Wings the base vof thevburner may be equippedI with three or nigre,\and the. said basemay bevaried inslznd shape to adapt the burner to the character of the stoveto which it is ap hed. a f

The innercylindrical-'she is provided with an annular bottom 13, .and it .has -asubstantially funnel-shaped li 14. The annular vbottom 18, which has ,acentral opening 15,- is pro? marginal' wall or Hange- .the accompanyingdra and rear re? ame upward.

The simu taneous rotation of the valve ugs v 29'and 30throufh ,thegearing provi esa of the operating shaft may be maintained in with thegearsY of the valve lugs by a coiled spring 38, mounted on the owerportion 'or the operating shaft and interposed between' the same and thelower connecting plate 37, a suitable stop '39 being provided :forlimiting the downward moveshaft. rlhe lower portion of the operatingshaft lmay be reuced to provide-a shoulder for this purpose, but anyother form of stopmay 'be employed. Also the valve plugs may be equippedwith adjusting screws 40 and 41 mounted in threaded bores or o enings ofthe valve plugs and rovided at their upper ends with grooves or theTreception ora blade of a screw driver,-or other suitable tool forrotating them'. 'lhe adjusting screws provide for a fine adjustment ofthe faucets indeplendently of the adjustment aorded by t e-gearing. rlhesupply pipes 25 and 26 have upright portionsfwhich are mounted in abracket 42 having attaching portions secured to the conduit 22 andextending outwardly thererom.
